JAPANESE BIG EVENT HONORABLE JOHN ENA $B0 ,000 FOR mrs ncw v I1
E MIGHTS CELEBRATED DIES IN LOS ANGELES NEW WHARF HOTEL PLAN
(From Thursday's Advertiser.)
The embarking of the Japanese who
palled yesterday for Vancouver on the
S. S. Aorangl was watched with a good
deal of Interest by many, who expected
to see some or all of them refuse either
to produce their poll tax receipt or pay
the tax before going up the gangplank.
It Is known that recently the Japanese
were commencing to object very strenuously

poll tax Is collected from outgoing""-"" "c'e "" "'""""

number of them on the Aorangl would
be taken advantage of to bring the
matter to a head.
Deputy Collector Neely was at the
foot of the gangplank with his tax receipt
book ready andhls Interpreter at
his elbow, when the emigrants began
to go aboard and each was held back
and made to produce a receipt before
being allowed to go up. There was no
protest made, however.
"I expect the thing will come oft
when the Alameda sails," said Mr.
Neeley. "A good many of the Japanese
think that their government has
bluffed Roosevelt and has got this
country on the run and can do about
as they please with us. We have to
collect the tax from those who should
pay It and we have no way of knowing
how long any of them have been In
the country, and so far they have not
wanted to show their passports to us.
"They secured these passports from
their government on the understanding
that they were to come only as 'far as
Hawaii and did not want to produce
them If they could help It, as this would
show how very little time they had
been here and how they were deceiving
their own government. So they
would rather pay tho five, dollars tax.
But now they think that there will be
'no question of their landing at San
Francisco, with their government ready
to take up their quarrels and so they
are talking of making a fight here
about the tax.
"I have taken the matter up with
Treasurer Campbell and with tho Attorney
General's department, so we
will be able to meet them when they
make their test."

MANAGSB 10W
A rumor was about town yesterday
that James Low was to be superseded
as manager of Honolulu plantation, as
well as superintendent Leo of tho Mill.
Mr. Glffard of W. G. Irwin & Co. was
asked concerning the rumor. He re-
piled that he too had heard the rumor
but could give no Information whatever
on the subject, as ho had no
ue Knowledge or xne mmier.
Mr. Low Is at present ln San Fran-
Cisco, where the head offices of tho
company are locuieu, ana m
tion Is said to havo come from there
by cable.
The same rumor also connected the
names ui ueorge nuss, lonneny jutui
ager of Hakalau plantation, and Mr.
Fisher, head luna at Ewa, with the future
managership of Honolulu plantation.
It will be remembered a similar rumor,
that proved incorrect, was circulated
about Manager Low last year.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS. '

"Whon von are in doubt toll
the truth." It was an experienced
old diplomat who said this
to a beginner in the work. It
may pass . in somo things, but
not in business. Fraud and deception
aro often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comos tho smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell tho truth all the
timo. Thus you make friends

that is always worth twenty

Following some introductory remarks
of Mr. Lewers, W. O. Smith made an
address on Excelsior Lodge and some
of the principles upon which Odd Fel

not wish to confine himself altogether
to Excelsior Lodge, although his associations

about thirty years. Thoughts natural

DR. RODGERS ADDRESS.
Dr. Rodgers, D. D. G. S., chaplain,
made an address on tho Rebekahs, as
follows:

regard as a privilege and an honor.
If at tho outset I seem to go vory
far back towards the beginnings of
things I pray you will not assume that
my discourse, is to bo correspondingly
lone: such is not my intention.
"And God saw that it was not good
for man to be alone," so ho created
woman to be his companion ana help
mate. In other words, taking tho nnr
rntivo as it appears on its face, tho
Creator is represented as seeing the
imperfection of his own work, and
straightway the Divine Wisdom and
tho Divine Foresight, acting by and
through the Divine rower, found and
applied the remedy. Burns, as many
of you know, gives tuo story a whimsical
and half humorous turn, intimating
that in creating man tho Creator
was experimenting or trying his hand
ns it wero, and that woman was tho
final and perfected work of creative
power. Speaking of naturo in a personified
form the poot says:
"Her prentice hand she tried on man.
And then she mndo the lassies O."
Wo may not attain to tho Divino
moasure of either power or wisdom, but
wo may follow that power and wisdom
so far as they are rovcaled to us, and
make our daily practice conform thereto,
and the moro our minds nro on-lightened
and our souls lifted up, the
more fully shall wo appreciate and the
more closoly shall wo follow tho Divine
leading, recognizing and honoring the

In connection with the report that a Japanese squadron will shortly pay

Mlramar, tho beautiful, Is to havo

Tho work Is to bo commenced next
